I haven't been able to be online much this weekend. #Icestorms. Power outages. Cell service outages. Northern #Michigan looks like Armageddon backwash. 90% of my entire township was in the dark this morning. Yet with temps tonight forecasted to be around 15F, guess who's here with additional linemen crews?? #Canada. 😢 I am grateful. And ashamed. They are better neighbors than we are, despite everything.


πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Never forget Pierre #Poilievre and the Conservative Party supported the 'freedom convoy' 'Coutts blockade' & the '#Ottawa occupation'

Why would we trust this man to protect our country?

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ "Conservative leader, #Poilievre suggests he would "protect" dental care, child care programs as PM."

Mr & Mrs Poilievre must think Canadians are stupid. They have already shown us where they stand.

"Democracy is not something you believe in or a place to hang your hat, but it's something you do. You participate. If you stop doing it, democracy crumbles."
Abbie Hoffman

So make sure to help people get out to the polls.
Arrange rides for the disabled and seniors, people without vehicles, search them out. They need to have their vote counted too.

Canada drops to 18th in 2025 World Happiness Report rank, among the 'largest losers'

> At its peak, in the 2015 report, #Canada had placed fifth. Now, in 18th, Canada has dropped to its lowest-ever position since the polling began in 2005. The United States has also dropped to its lowest-ever position at 24th, having previously peaked at 11th place in 2012. The U.K. fell to 23rd. cbc.ca/news/canada/world-happi… #CDNpoli #Canada


"But Trump’s claim Canada can’t survive without the U.S. is utterly false. We’re the tenth largest economy in the world. (Ed. larger than Russian economy) We have 40 million people: workers, consumers, citizens."

"Indeed, in important ways, we are actually less reliant on foreign trade than commonly assumed."

"Almost 80 per cent of what we produce never crosses a border. Its produced in Canada, by Canadians, for Canadians.'"

β€œThe American imperialism directed towards Denmark and Canada is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous. The United States has nothing to gain from it, and much to lose.”
β€”Timothy Snyder, The Imperialism Has no Clothes
#musk #trump #usa #denmark #canada


β€œAs with everything Musk-Trump does, however, the cui bono question about imperialism in Greenland is easy to answer: Russia benefits. Putin cannot contain his delight with American imperialism over Greenland. In generating artificial crises in relations with both Denmark and Canada, …the Trump people cut America loose from security gains and create a chaos in which Russia benefits.”
β€”Timothy Snyder, The Imperialism Has no Clothes

Lol Trump realizes his support is costing Conservatives votes in Canada so now he's pretending he loves the Liberal Party.

You can probably hear all of Canada rolling our eyes simultaneously.

"I like πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ PM Mark Carney's long and sometimes overly detailed explanation of issues and policies. I find them reassuring.
I know some media people have criticized him for that, but the devil is in the details & I appreciate the details.
πŸ‘‰ It’s a serious communication for a serious time."

While I agree with the spirit of your post, the timing for the #EU deal (#CETA, if you are referring to that) predates the #Trump presidencies:

"... Officials announced the launch of negotiations on 6 May 2009 at the #Canada-#EU Summit in #Prague...."

"...#JustinTrudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, travelled to #Brussels on 30 October 2016 to sign..."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehe…


πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

πŸ€” Something to consider...

When Trump started the Tariff rhetoric, Trudeau started negotiating deals with the EU, Australia and other countries.

Trudeau started the ball rolling, PM Carney picked it up and is running with it, plus running for the election in April

I can't imagine Poilievre having the ability to walk and chew an apple at the same time.

Vote wisely, and please help others get out to vote.

The era of deep economic, security and military ties between #Canada and the #UnitedStates "is over," Prime Minister Mark #Carney said Thursday, after President Donald #Trump announced steep auto tariffs. Trump's planned 25 percent levy on vehicle imports to the United States is to come into force next week and could be devastating for a Canadian auto industry that supports an estimated 500,000 jobs. FRANCE 24's Christopher Guly reports from Ottawa.

"Following reports of travelers being detained or denied entry, along with the president’s increasingly fiery rhetoric, tourist numbers have dropped, and one study estimates it could lead to billions of dollars in lost revenue."

Via CBC News:

Prime Minister #MarkCarney, speaking in Ottawa, says that #Canada will respond to the U.S. auto tariffs with retaliatory trade actions.

The response will β€œhave maximum impacts in the U.S.” and minimum impacts in Canada.

He adds that the government will protect workers and build a new Canadian economy.

β€œI reject any attempts to weaken Canada,” Carney said.

He says he'll be speaking to Trump in a day or 2.


Dear friends in #Europe, #Japan and beyond.....do NOT #travel to the U.S. We are under a fascist takeover......go to #Canada or another country and give them your dollars. (And be safer)


β€œI don’t see it as fleeing at all. I see it as joining Canada, which is a target of Trump, just like Yale is a target of Trump.”

Yale professor Jason Stanley, who studies history of fascism, fleeing US to work in #Canada; father fled Nazis in #Berlin in 1939.

Canada has announced EV rebate payments to Tesla have been frozen as the company faces an investigation after four dealerships claimed to sell over 8,600 cars in a mere three days, racking up $43 million in rebates.

Tesla vehicles will also be excluded from any future federal EV rebate programs.

#Gabbard was asked if she knew the percent of fentanyl in the #US that came from #Canada. Clearly concerned that she was about to contradict #Trump, he asked if she could get back to the cmte on that. Senator Heinrich told her, β€œit’s less that 1%.”

#Gabbard just had to explain why #Canada wasn’t in the threat assessment report. She answered that the report only includes countries that present the highest threats. Senator Heinrich specifically pointed to #Trump’s repeated claims there is β€œmassive” & β€œunusually high” amounts of #fentanyl coming in through Canada to justify #tariffs.
